Question by Cindy R.: Does James Frey reject Alcoholics Anonymous?
Does James Frey, the “Million Little Pieces” author reject AA?

Was he forced to go to AA?

Did he like AA?

Best answer:

Answer by raysny
He hated AA and wrote a book about getting sober without AA:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Million_Little_Pieces

Unfortunately for all the people that book resonated with, Fry embellished much of the book, giving AA members something to denounce the book over. Many feel that catching Frey in untruths somehow make their lies true.

People in AA tell the same sort of stories, called drunkalogues, in meetings all the time. Frey was put under a microscope because he doesn’t believe people are powerless over their addictions or that you need AA’s particular god to bail out out on a daily basis.

Question by deathvalleydiva: Can you have BPD without fear of abandonment?
My boyfriend and I have been seeing a therapist because we’ve been very happy for 3 years but lately his temper has gotten really bad. He’s even gotten physical with me. The therapist strongly suspects BPD so we read up on it. He has a LOT of the symptoms but he lacks the hallmark “fear of abandonment.” If anything I’d call him a loner. He’s not the kind of guy who has to have a girlfriend at all times. He’s not controlling or jealous AT ALL. In fact, when we get in arguments HE’LL be the one to hastily say we should break up. I feel like he’s indifferent to me (lately), not scared of losing me. It’s gotten to the point where he breaks up with me almost every other day. I know you’re wondering why I’m staying with him, it’s because he wasn’t always like this, I agree that SOMETHING is going on with him mentally I just wonder if it could be BPD since he doesn’t have fear of abandonment. (and he wasn’t abused as a child, he had very loving, very supportive parents who are still love him very much) He’s 36 by the way, if that helps. Never been married and has no kids. History of drug and alcohol abuse, and one suicide attempt 10 years ago.
